I can now test it, that amdgpu added proper support for it, and yes, it does
automatically switch into game mode if I set the content type to that. It also
switches to game mode with the unsupported "Graphics" content type that we
currently set unconditionally, but that might just be a fallback specific to
this TV.

Yes, edid-decode. In some distros there's also di-edid-decode, from
libdisplay-info.

You mistake "forced on users by a big company" with "good". The Intel UI is not
something most users ever see, and last time I saw a friend try to make a
display configuration work with it under Windows, it was pretty bad and
confusing to be frank.
